Growing up?
Posted on Aug. 27, 2009
Okay, 3 months is far too long for any excuse in not posting.
My biggest priority (besides for Bible and school) is writing. But not just writing...it is in getting my RH story done for good. I am about 36,000 words into the first draft, (I've been working on it for about a month) and usually my first drafts tend to be about 50,000-ish. But I am totally serious about this book. I have NEVER felt this way about any of my other stories.
What's the difference between that and anything else? Well there is a tremendous difference. Firstly, I believe it's me. Last year I had a very childish view on things - including romance. One of my biggest dreams was to meet a man like Rean-Hammon and get married. This year everything seems so different - I think I just took another step to womanhood, it takes many to get there. I believe I am more content where I am, and the looming 'fear' that I had last year "What if I don't ever meet the man. What if I never get married?!" isn't here at all anymore. I am looking forward to collage and my career, namely, to get a librarian degree and become a librarian and full time author.
Secondly, I believe that because of my own growth in maturity, I have greatly changed my outlook on my stories. I can't write only when I'm inspired - that's not good enough anymore. Lately I have been getting up at 5:00 in the morning and writing until 7:00 when I have to eat breakfast and start school. And believe me, when I hear the alarm sounding in my ear when it's still dark outside, the last thing I want to do is to get up and walk down the dark hallway to the computer room, turn on the computer, and wake up doing Write or Die. I am dead serious. I WILL have my novel ready for publication by next winter at the latest. Can you believe it? I am 16 and a half now, by next winter, I will have just turned 18.
I've run out of things to say, so I'll just stop here.

I think it is awesome that you feel that way about your writing. I need to decide how serious I am about my writing, and if I am REALLY serious, I need to get a move on!
I also think it is neat that you want to be a librarian, because the thought has crossed my mind, as well. I still don't know what I think of that idea, though.
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!
